Kenechukwu Orjiene, Amos Mwangi, Gitonga Miriam Njeri, and Golda Velez are four of the co-founders of LinkedTrust, a Public Benefit Corporation with a commitment to sharing equity and governance.
Software engineers in decentralized protocols, they are the builders of the LinkedClaim vocabulary used by the US Chambers of Commerce Foundation and being applied to UN Traceability Interoperability standards as well as verifying Candid.org applicants.
In this seminar Kenechukwu, Amos, Gitonga, and Golda will discuss their direct experience in participating in a unique model of shared governance using a rotating steering committee selected in a random work-weighted way, to make tough decisions about team proposals to spend profits. They will discuss the constraints on time and resources in a scrappy, lean startup, the reasons for designing this unique model, and how genuine shared governance can be a competitive advantage.
In addition they will touch on the Fairmint method of sharing a growing pie of equity in a tokenized manner between investors and founders, while reserving governance only for participants, and on the hopes of integrating the LinkedClaim technology into future governance methods.
